Lessons
- Queue before pride — A small honest pile of signs & priority beats a beautiful unread archive.
- Sleep is a method — signs & priority reviewed after a night of sleep retrieves cleaner than a 2 a.m. binge.
- The outline moves — If public outline changes, signs & priority must change. Do not worship last year's deck.
- Composite, not confession — The six people on this page are archetypes built around signs & priority, not private case files.
Educational atlas — not an official syllabus, medical advice, or leaked item bank. Driving-licence theory: Keep the public outline in view and treat this page as method, not a leaked key.
